Brilliant!

Around his time last year, we showed you how to brighten up your Easter eggs with natural dye made from ingredients like beets, cabbage, saffron, and turmeric. Which, compared to going out and buying chemical dye at the store, is practically a Kookery in and of itself! Or so we thought, until we found today's recipe, and understood the true kooky (and beautiful) heights to which Easter egg dying can soar.

One method uses herbs, tightly wrapped to the eggs with old pantyhose, as stencils for the onion-skin dye, while the other uses the natural complexity of the onion skin as a wrapper, producing swirly, almost hypnotic designs. Both look great (and the herb method, at least, would also work with other natural dye baths, too).
